Chestnuts are a delicious fruit in autumn, but peeling them can be a tricky task. However, with the right method, peeling chestnuts can actually be easy. Today I'm going to share some simple yet effective tips to make it easy for you to master how to peel chestnuts!
First, choose chestnuts that are fresh and have a complete shell. The fresh chestnut shell is bright in color and heavy to the touch. The integrity of the shell is an important sign to ensure that the inside of the chestnut is full and sweet. Check the appearance and avoid chestnuts with cracks or discoloration. Once you've chosen your chestnuts, you're ready to peel them!
On the prepared chestnuts, use a knife to lightly cut the outermost hard shell, and then bake them in the oven for a while, or blanch them with boiling water, this step will make the shell of the chestnuts slightly softer and easier to peel. When the chestnut cools a little, gently press it with your finger to crack the shell, and then peel off the shell with your fingers, and it is easy to peel off the shell intact. This treatment will not only ensure that the chestnut skin is easy to fall, but also make the aroma of the chestnut stronger.
A final tip is to put some table salt while the water is boiling, and then add the chestnuts. When boiled, table salt makes it easier to peel off the shell of the chestnut, and it also allows the chestnut to better retain its aroma. Chestnuts cooked in this way are not only easy to peel, but also more delicious. Peeling a chestnut with your own hands and smelling the aroma is the most wonderful enjoyment.
Summary and precautions: Peeling chestnut peels can actually be very simple, as long as you choose the right fresh chestnuts, cut and handle them correctly, plus some tips, you can make peeling chestnuts easy and enjoyable.
